What is recorded here

Newry has accumulated human life since medieval times, with distinct settlement layers continuing through the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The town is not a sudden invention but a repeated choice, where people returned to the same ground, rebuilt after loss, and expanded the old footprint. Each era added rooms, roads and memories, making the settlement a living record of continuity rather than a single dated event.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as HISTORIC SETTLEMENT: NEWRY. Recorded period: C18TH; MEDIEVAL; C19TH; POST-MED; LATE-MED; C20TH. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
